Oosterbrink 58431 RA Oosterwolde (FR)Oosterwolde-Noord-Oost

On the edge of Oosterwolde, nestled between the National Park Drents-Friese Wold and the Fochteloërveen Nature Reserve, you will find yourself surrounded by one of the most captivating landscapes in the northern Netherlands. Endless forests, sweeping heathlands, drifting sand dunes and the rare raised bogs create an extraordinary backdrop for walking, cycling and embracing the outdoors. Here, every day is defined by space, tranquillity and the timeless beauty of nature. Designed in 1998 by renowned architect P. Driesmans of Knokke, this distinguished country residence draws its inspiration from the timeless elegance of the classic English manor house. His signature is evident throughout: in the harmonious symmetry, the graceful curves of the thatched roof adorned with numerous dormer windows, and the characterful leaded windows with traditional glazing bars. Inside, this architectural language continues seamlessly in the beautifully crafted door frames and panelled doors on the first floor. The result is a truly enchanting family home with a distinctive identity of its own. In 2025, the entire thatched roof was renewed, restoring the villa to its original splendour. The combination of the new thatch, crisp white façades and elegant rooflines gives the residence an exceptionally refined and welcoming appearance. Fully insulated and awarded an Energy Label B, the villa stands on a generous 1,270 m², living space 210 m², within an exclusive residential setting of detached homes on spacious parcels. It is a peaceful and leafy neighbourhood, yet only a short stroll from the charming centre of Oosterwolde with its excellent everyday amenities. Directly behind the property lies the local deer park, allowing the surrounding greenery to blend almost seamlessly into the rear garden. Parkland Gardens Encircling the villa is a beautifully landscaped, park-like garden where mature trees, colourful flower borders, immaculate lawns, pergolas and several inviting terraces come together to create an atmosphere of exceptional serenity. Throughout the day there is always a perfect place to enjoy either the sunshine or the cool shade. At the heart of the garden stands a magnificent copper beech, traditionally regarded as a symbol of strength and prosperity, providing a striking focal point to this verdant outdoor sanctuary. Nature is not merely nearby, it becomes part of everyday life. Squirrels dart effortlessly through the trees, songbirds provide a daily chorus, hedgehogs are frequent visitors and even the colourful great spotted woodpecker has made this garden part of its habitat. Every season introduces new colours, fragrances and sounds, ensuring the landscape remains captivating throughout the year. From almost every room in the villa, the surrounding greenery forms a picturesque living canvas. Layout Ground Floor The elegant burgundy front door, complete with a beautifully handcrafted copper viewing hatch that perfectly complements the villa's rich architectural detailing, immediately reflects the exceptional attention to craftsmanship found throughout the residence. The impressive reception hall, centred around a magnificent split-level staircase, forms the stately heart of the home. Natural daylight filters gently through the leaded stained-glass window set within the characteristic projecting bay (risalit), filling the staircase with a warm and atmospheric glow, a detail that further enhances the villa's architectural character. From the hall, you enter the inviting living room. This generous reception space features a charming bay window, an elegant fireplace and French doors opening onto the terrace. Every window frames delightful views of the flowering borders and the surrounding gardens. The room has recently been enhanced with a beautiful solid oak whitewashed herringbone floor, allowing timeless elegance to blend effortlessly with contemporary comfort. Adjacent to the living room is the spacious kitchen, a wonderful setting for long dinners and memorable family gatherings. The handcrafted Tinello kitchen is fully equipped with integrated appliances and benefits from underfloor heating.

The generous utility area adjoining the kitchen includes a secondary kitchenette, a bathroom with shower and washbasin, and a second utility room with its own garden entrance, internal access to the fully insulated garage and a private staircase leading to the first floor. This flexible section of the home offers excellent possibilities for independent living accommodation, an au pair, guest quarters or multigenerational family living.
